'We're in a credit-card Congress,' Enzi said, noting the United States would soon face annual government deficits of over $1 trillion. 'We are clearly headed in an ominous direction.' Trump's plan is highly unlikely to become law in the face of opposition from Democrats,
WASHINGTON - A senior Senate Republican gave a lukewarm welcome to U.S. President Donald Trump's 2020 budget plan, complaining on Wednesday that growing debt was taking the country in"an ominous direction."
Trump's plan is highly unlikely to become law in the face of opposition from Democrats, who control the House of Representatives. In his $4.7 trillion budget unveiled on Monday, Trump called for overhauling social programs that help poor and elderly Americans, while boosting military spending and funding a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Enzi blamed both Republicans and Democrats for the trend toward trillion-dollar deficits. The Republican lawmaker cited a report from the Congressional Budget Office that the public debt is expected to reach 78 percent of gross domestic product this year.
